No tear for Boldin, status uncertain

Receiver Anquan Boldin's left hamstring is strained, not torn, and his status for Saturday's divisional playoff game against Carolina is uncertain.

"When you're dealing with hamstrings, you never know," coach Ken Whisenhunt said Monday. "I've seen guys that come back and play a couple of days later. I've seen guys that are out three to four weeks."

Boldin likely will be limited in practice this week, if he's even able to practice. The Cardinals usually don't provide detailed injury information, and Boldin's status probably won't be determined until shortly before Saturday's 6:15 p.m. kickoff.

Boldin suffered the injury during a 71-yard touchdown catch in last Saturday's victory over the Falcons. He had missed the previous two games because of a shoulder injury, and the lack of practice time contributed to the hamstring problem, Whisenhunt said.

"I think it's something that's typical of a guy who hasn't played for a couple of weeks," Whisenhunt said. "With his shoulder injury, it was hard for him to do the type of conditioning because of moving it around."

Boldin was not available for comment on Monday.

Defensive end/outside linebacker Travis LaBoy, who has missed the past three games because of an ankle injury, is expected to practice Tuesday, Whisenhunt said.
